Well, right off the bat, I knew I had a problem. The Quaker oatmeal canisters seem to be bigger than the Meijer brand cans.
So, I had an idea to use padding to make it thicker and make the headbands stay.
I bought this padding ages and ages ago because I was going to try to make a pillow..... LOL! Right. So it's been sitting in a plastic bin, waiting for another craft. The fabric is from JoAnn Fabrics. It was on sale for 99 cents. I wiped the inside of the canister out with a barely damp paper towel, then let it sit for a few days to make absolutely sure it was dry.
I used my "brand new" glue gun (got it for Christmas... finally used it) for the first time to glue the padding on. I just put a line of glue down the length of the canister every few inches.
I have a lot of hangers. And bra straps...
So I'm going to make another one... hopefully it'll look better. With the headbands around it, it doesn't look too bad. I put all of my bra straps in the canister so they're finally out of sight (I never use them anyway).
